Bottom line in my eyes . . . we're all beautiful people with imperfections. Whether we're Non or BPD or something else or not . . . we all have our underlying qualities ~ some stronger than others. For each of us it makes us what we are just being US. It is certainly interesting, however to see how we view our individual qualities relative to BPD, if indeed they are. Who really knows? I think it's great to be able to perceive a positive connection to the BPD though.
